Are their u joints on front wheel drive cars?

No, front-wheel drive (FWD) cars typically do not have universal joints. FWD systems generally use constant velocity (CV) joints to transmit power from the transmission to the front wheels. CV joints allow for smooth transfer of power while accommodating the changing angles required during steering and suspension movement. U-joints, on the other hand, are usually found in rear-wheel drive (RWD) or four-wheel drive (4WD) systems where there is significant driveshaft articulation and angles.
